Spotted Bass
For anglers looking to target spotted bass, Hokes Bluff and the surrounding Coosa River system offer some great opportunities. Neely Henry Lake is a particularly good location, known for its healthy spotted bass population. These fish thrive in the rocky, riverine habitat. Look for them around points, submerged timber, and rocky bluffs. Spring and fall are ideal times, as spotted bass are often found in shallower water during these seasons. In the summer, focus on deeper structure and use techniques like drop-shotting or Carolina rigging. A local trick is to use smaller, finesse lures, as spotted bass can be more finicky than largemouth. Public boat ramps are readily available around Neely Henry Lake, providing easy access. Be mindful of the current, especially near the dam, as it can affect your lure presentation.
